WFP food aid delivery into northern Gaza suspended
The UN World Food Programme (WFP) has temporarily suspended the delivery of food aid to the north of the Gaza Strip, which has been under Israeli bombardment for months.
On Tuesday, the WFP announced in a statement that deliveries would only be started up again once the conditions for safer distribution were put in place.
After a three-week break, the WFP resumed deliveries to the north of the Palestinian coastal strip on Sunday. Since then, the WFP said there have been chaotic scenes and riots during food distribution.
People have climbed onto Lorries, and in some places, food trucks were looted.
There were also occasional clashes, with shots fired and a lorry driver attacked.
The WFP said it was trying to resume deliveries as quickly as possible.
The situation on the ground is deteriorating, and more and more people are at risk of dying of hunger, it added.
